Mamdani Chooses His Words Carefully After Alleged Terror Attack

One day the NYT's editors will read these stories again and be ashamed of themselves. Mamdani called the attack "heinous," "criminal," "reprehensible," "terrorism," and "the antithesis of who we are." The insinuation that he's conflicted about this is disgraceful. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/n...

Encyclopedia of New York City entry for East River

Encyclopedia of New York City reports that it’s both, fwiw.

I understand the political theory behind this - “look, we’re on your side re: affordable gas” - I just think it’s a stupid fucking theory

let them touch the stove, press their hand on it good and hard

The East River is actually a strait and not a river. FWIW.

God bless America, this America

to me it rocks that this company that has never come within light-years of making money and has a bad product with zero practical use cases is the pivot point of the global economy because a bunch of embarrassing Burning Man dorks just decided it should be

Thank you for pointing this out.

Yankees were ‘embarrassed’ by Staten Island team’s Pizza Rat promotion Chief Operating Officer Lonn Trost said the club had “absolute distain” over the now-defunct Staten Island Yankees’ decision to honor the rodent.

The Staten Island Pizza Rats (Yankees farm team) had that certain something, too, but alas it was a short-lived name. nypost.com/2022/01/01/y...

I'd prefer a hearty "Hell the fck no" but this will suffice.

Hegseth is a worse caricature than Gen Buck Turgidson, except Hegseth is real. Just sickening.

New Yorkers want LESS plastic and they want FEWER TOXIC CHEMICALS in their food and drink packaging, too. It's time for the legislature to pass the Packaging Reduction Act introduced by Senator Harckham and Assemblymember Deborah Glick.

Trump hates the First Amendment and wants to crush the media. What a sickening statement and decision.

Marco Rubio with football

We miss your perennial takedown of the Secretary.

I think Rubio must’ve been reading from this @theonion.com article

“Riding in a golf cart fatly.” Hard to top that. 💯

we have a psychotic, murderous, christian nationalist as secretary of defense

Jesus Christ, Ken, just oppose the war, not the process.

I don't understand this coordinated response of Dems going, "Trump owes us an explanation for attacking Iran!"

Do they expect his failure to provide one will produce a politically advantageous gotcha? Come on. Just say the war is stupid, wasteful and it should cease. Stop being weak and terrible.

OCASIO-CORTEZ STATEMENT ON TRUMP'S COMBAT OPERATIONS IN IRAN "The American people are once again dragged into a war they did not want by a president who does not care about the long-term consequences of his actions. This war is unlawful. It is unnecessary. And it will be catastrophic. "Just this week, Iran and the United States were negotiating key measures that could have staved off war. The President walked away from these discussions and chose war instead.President Trump flippantly acknowledged the possibility of American casualties, stating "that often happens in war.' "Mr. President: this was not an inevitability. This is a deliberate choice of aggression when diplomacy and security were within reach. Stop lying to the American people. "Violence begets violence. We learned this lesson in Iraq. We learned this lesson in Afghanistan. And we are about to learn it again in Iran. Bombs have yet to create enduring democracies in the region and this will be no different. "In moments of war, our Constitution is unambiguous: Congress authorizes war. The President does not. I will do my part to uphold our Constitution by voting YES on Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie's War Powers Resolution. Every member of Congress must join us in rejecting this aimless war.

My statement on President Trump’s combat operations in Iran⬇️

Statement from Rep. Ilhan Omar on Trump’s Illegal War on Iran “President Trump is unilaterally dragging this nation into an illegal and unjustified war with Iran without congressional authorization, without a clear objective, and without any imminent threat to the United States. This is a reckless abuse of power that puts both innocent civilians and American lives on the line for a conflict the American people do not want. “As someone who has survived the horrors of war, I know that bombs do not build peace or create stability. Military strikes will not make us safer; they will inflame tensions and push the region further into chaos. When we abandon diplomacy, we choose destruction.

“We know who will bear the cost of this decision: innocent civilians caught in the crossfire and our young service members sent into harm’s way. This is the devastating human toll of another regime-change war. Already, children and families are paying with their lives. There is no moral or strategic justification for this bloodshed. “The American people are exhausted by endless wars built on false promises and paid for with American and foreign lives. Congress must reassert its constitutional authority. We must vote immediately on the War Powers resolution authored by Reps. Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie. This unlawful operation must end immediately."

sure, Donny

Of course he didn’t say anything like that when MTG and Boebert would scream during Biden’s SOTUs.

democrats should internalize that this is what their colleagues think of them and act accordingly

White people being racist

White people being racist, 60 years ago

This blatant xenophobic racism against an entire group of immigrants is unacceptable, and every member of Congress who cheered it is a horrifying stain on America.

Richmond County’s own Nicole Malliotakis giving off the same energy as one of the white people protesting southern school integration in photos from the 50s

Never mind that WWII thing, the Moon landing, buckets of medals at every Olympics, etc etc. Narcissistic psychotic, that guy is.

Me too, and I’m basically bald!

There's still time for the president to invite the cops who were brutally attacked by snowballs to the State of the Union
